I am assuming that the girl was a teenager. So how could she have been old enough to have a brother who was a colonel in the Air Force? Even in wartime, when officers are rapidly promoted to replace combat losses, few people made colonel before the age of 30.

Life is very simple when it comes to raising children. We know what works, and we have known for the past 4,000 years what works, while recent decades have taught us the hard way what doesn't work.
If you are intentionally raising a child without a father, you have already ruined the child?s life. If you are pregnant and not married the best option from the child?s point of view is adoption by a stable married couple.

I have no sympathy for any woman who gets pregnant without being married. I have nothing but contempt for any man that impregnates a woman he is not married to. The only problems that matter in situations of illegitimacy are the ones that immoral adults make the child deal with later.
